Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive life threatening bacterial infection of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue, and the fascia. We present a case of necrotizing fasciitis involving the nose complicated by cavernous sinus thrombosis. Few cases of septic cavernous sinus thrombosis have been reported to be caused by cellulitis of the face but necrotizing fasciitis of the nose is rare. It is very important to recognize the early signs of cavernous thrombosis. Treatment for septic cavernous sinus thrombosis is controversial but early use of empirical antibiotics is imperative.

Fascial Spaces

Deep neck space infections are a common reason for otolaryngology consultation. The anatomic spaces and their relationships are complex, and inappropriately treated infections may pose life-threatening consequences. It is critical for the practicing otolaryngologist to understand the boundaries and contents of the fascial spaces, microbiology of involved organisms, clinical workup, indications for medical and surgical management, and potential complications. This review contains 15 figures, 3 tables and 25 references.  Key Words: Nodes of Rouviere, Danger space, Ludwig’s angina, Lemierre syndrome, Cavernous sinus thrombosis, Necrotizing fasciitis, Bezold abscess
